Scene Ecology: His groups helped define LA’s chamber-jazz side, where cool jazz, classical textures, and club work crossed without sounding like New York hard bop.
Life After Music: Paul Horn later became known for recording in sacred spaces and helped shape New Age music after leaving straight jazz circles behind.
